Om dette overnattingsstedet

Hele stedet

Du vil få hele huset for deg selv, og kommer kun til å måtte dele plassen med de andre gjestene du reiser sammen med.

Flotte par trekker seg tilbake, eller familieferie sover 8 !!!!5 minutters kjøretur til strendene!

Vårt hus er perfekt for familie og venner å komme sammen, eller bare et par trekke seg tilbake, master seng og bad har en cal / king bed laget av lokale Tiko's, stor dusj, m / varmt vann, klimaanlegg og takvifte. Og to dobbeltsenger i ett soverom med klimaanlegg og takvifte. Og et annet soverom med en dobbeltseng, klimaanlegg og takvifte. Disse rommene ligger rett ved siden av bad med stor dusj, m / varmt vann. Takvifter i hvert rom, stort kjøkken, hvis du elsker å lage mat, med alt du trenger for å tilberede fisken du fanger, eller favorittmåltidet ditt, kaffekanne, brødrister, brødrister, mikrobølgeovn, smoothie-maskin, perfekt for fruktensmoothiene , lage fra Costa Rica kjempeflott FRISKE FRUKT, komfyr, stekeovn, kjøleskap, fryser, alle oppvasken, grytene og pansene, vaskemaskin, vi har en kleslinje for å henge klær til tørk. Utendørs grill, rett ved siden av den fantastiske Tiki / Rancho vi hadde bygget, det var hvis du spiser måltider, slapper av i hengekøyene eller bruker elektronikken din. Bassenget er perfekt, flyter og lenestoler for din fornøyelse. Eiendommen er veldig privat, 1 3/4 dekar som slår opp til en teakgård og jungel bak bassenget, så apene, dovendyr, vennlige (Iguanas) (som elsker frukt) forskjellige vakre fugler er alltid i nærheten, perfekte for bilder og videoer, The Parrots besøker to ganger om dagen morgen og happy hour, og har siden 2006, så fantastisk å se og høre. Casa setter seg tilbake fra hotellet ved siden av, slik at du ikke en gang vet at den er der, men det er en veldig fin funksjon å ha i tilfelle du vil ha god mat eller en cocktail. Strendene er de beste rundt, ganske, svart varm myk sand er perfekt for turer på stranden. Vi har også en dame som gir de beste massasjer rett på stranden, så avslappende, lyttende til bølgene, og brisen er perfekt, en flott måte å slappe av og glemme fra jobb , Hennes navn og nummer er tilgjengelig på forespørsel. Vi fant også fantastiske steder å spise og feste, eller bare slappe av. Vi drar alltid til The Pelican Hotel på Esterillos-Este eller de vakreste solnedgangene du noensinne vil se. Det er 6 miles fra casaen vår, men alle strendene ved casa er nydelig, den nærmeste stranden ligger bare 2 miles fra casa, Casa ligger rett mellom Jaco Beach og Manuel Antonio, Jaco 25 minutter unna, Perfekt sted for shopping, restauranter, natteliv, kasinoer, Manual Antonio er et must å se, 25 minutter borte, vakre hvite sandstrender, som tilbyr massasjer på stranden, båtaktiviteter, fantastiske restauranter og shopping, vårt favorittsted. Du finner alle slags aktiviteter, alt innen 30 minutter fra casa. Nasjonalpark, Quad og zip line turer, Party båt på (Ocean King) i Quepos, også havfiske med Quepos Fishing, perfekt for å fange de store !!! Fosser, ridning, surfing på Hermosa Beach, 20 minutter mot Jaco, eller ta en dagstur til Valcano, eller regnskogen, vel verdt turen. Vi anbefaler at du har en turleder eller en sjåfør tar deg. Vi anbefaler også at du leier en bil, en 4x4 anbefales på det sterkeste hvis du er en oppdagelsesreisende. Du kan leie en bil fra flyplassen og kjøre til casa, prøve å få en morgenflyvning og ankomme kl. 13.00. Det er vanskelig å kjøre om natten, og veibeskrivelsene kan være vanskelig, vi anbefaler å bruke ZUMA CAR Rental i Jaco, de vil hente deg og ta deg tilbake til flyplassen GRATIS når du leier et kjøretøy fra dem! Bare et alternativ, mye enklere enn å ta busser, men hvis du tar busser, er bussholdeplassen en 8 minutters spasertur fra casa. Vi har de beste restaurantene også, her er en liste over de beste vi har funnet ,, Pølsevogn og ølvogn, Pelican Hotel, Vi har en liste over alle dem hjemme og hvor de er, også er det brosjyrer om alle slags aktiviteter på casa. Bassengetjenesten vil sørge for at bassenget er helt rent hver dag. Det er hushjelpstjeneste tilgjengelig, du vil betale henne direkte, $ 35 for å rengjøre, veldig tillit verdig, de har vært med oss siden vi kjøpte casa. Vi ber om at du kjører klimaanlegget bare når du er på soverommene og lurer eller sover om natten, for å spare energi. Klimaanlegget blir VELDT KALT !!!! Hvis du er ute etter et avslappende sted å slappe av med jentene, eller en fisketur for gutta, en familieferie, parferie, er vårt hus perfekt for deg å glede deg, VELKOMMEN !!! PURA VIDA !!! 🇨🇷🇨🇷🏄‍♀️🏝🎣 (betyr GODT LIV) Cindy og Mark Wenzel

Not good

When we first arrived to check in the male owner was there and seemed to be drunk, gave us a quick walk thru, the batteries to our A/C in our bedroom were dead. He did find some but not until I pressed him on way it wasn’t working. He neglected to tell us not to put our toilet paper in toilets so by morning the toilets were plugged. I called them and they said they would be there in 1 hour well 3 hours later they got there. He told us to add water to the pool every day cause the pool leaked. So we did what we were told.Now they are blaming us for the pool turning green. They insinuated that we peed in the pool and went in with lotions on. Also we know nothing about chemicals in a pool but if we have to add water every day they should have had someone monitor the chemicals. It also rained heavily one day so the pool did turn green the afternoon before we left. They are also trying to blame us for a broken hinge on a Kitchen cupboard which was already loose when we checked in and are stating the one of up pulled on it hard and broke it. She said that she would for give that cause she knows we didn’t break it. She has continued to harass me about this and now wants me to pay. Never again will I go thru Vrob

Paradise!

We felt that the property was much nicer than it appears in the listing. They have one quiet neighbour, and lots of wildlife! Monkeys came to visit as well as geckos, iguanas, parrots etc. All communication with Cindy and Mark felt like we were dealing with old friends. Very accommodating and flexible, and they had plenty of local tips that were all very helpful and made our stay much better! We’d love to go back. We’ll be recommending this listing to our friends!

Perfect location to enjoy the coast

Our family loved this home with the outdoor hut and pool being the favorite, along with the monkeys that visit by the pool. The property is set back a bit with a lovely away from the crowds vibe. Luis was so helpful, and Cindy recommended Jeisen for surfing lessons and mangrove tour and we opted for these instead of the bigger touristy options. Our kids loved it and we would all recommend! Jeisen also recommended visiting Rainmaker mountain and we had the entire place to ourselves hiking the hanging bridges and waterfalls. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Great location for such activities. The house has a lived in feel so if you are looking for white sheets and a crisp AC air, this is not for you. Actually then Costa Rica probably isn't for you! (: We loved it.

Winter escape!

We arrived late at night after a very long day to be greeted by the lovely Luis! The property was spotless and welcoming, we immediately jumped into the lovely pool under the starry sky! The next morning, and every morning there after, the monkeys entertained us, along with a whole array of other wildlife. The house had everything we could possibly need and was close to everything we could possibly want. Cindy and Luis were both available for recommendations and suggestions. All together this was a lovely month of respite from the Canadian winter. Thank you Cindy and Mark for sharing this lovely place.

A wonderful vacation for my family of 5

Our family if 5 ( kids ages 13, 18, 20) had a fantastic experience in this rental. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. We loved to watch the monkeys that visited daily. The birds and iguanas were fascinating. We used pool and cabana each day. The location was great for driving to actives such as zip lining, rain Forrest hikes, white water rafting, surfing and beach days ( all within an hour drive or less). We also ate at some wonderful restaurants. Most of our activities and restaurants were suggested by our host. We would definitely rent here again!

Off the beaten path comfy place to stay

The reservation and check in process was super easy. Luis, who looks after the property, is a gem. He is super helpful and knows the area well. We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived. The property is located next to a hotel which has its pros and cons. You can eat at the restaurant but there may also be music and noise later in the evening. The home is equipped with everything. The pool is also lovely especially when you get back from the beach and want a cool dip. This home has a lived in feel, lots of beach themed art. If you are looking for a steril hotel kind of vacation home this might not be it. We used the ac units in the bedrooms at night to drop the humidity and dampness. Great stay overall including the monkeys that came to say hello at the pool.

Great house for making family memories

Our family had a wonderful time at this house. The kitchen was nice a big with all you need ... minus the groceries, which the grocery store was an easy 10 minutes down the road in Parrita. There is a hotel next door, but the house still seems secluded. The pool was the highlight by far. We loved swimming with the kids and watching the monkeys come right up to the pool and eat the bananas we left in the basket. We even saw several poison dart frogs and iguanas. The main road is easy to drive, so getting out and seeing the sights was very easy to do. Cindy is very happy to offer recommendations for the area, and she was very responsive. The house does not require a 4x4. Very happy with our choice to stay here.

Enjoyable stay

Lovely pool and outdoor area. Despite being next to a hotel, property is secluded. Esterillos Town Center and Parrita town as well as the laid back, quiet beaches of Bejuco and Esterillos are about 10-15 mins away (by car). The owner, Cindy, was very communicative and provided a wealth of information regarding restaurants and things to do in the area. Luis the property manager was wonderful and available for any questions we had. We loved the daily monkey and iguana visits. Thank you for a lovely week in beautiful Costa Rica!

The best place to stay in Costa Rica!

We loved everything about this house. The owners are fantastic - they were quick to help us with suggestions on all the best places and must-sees in the area. The house was beautiful. We loved relaxing in the pool, looking up and seeing the resident sloth. We also had a visit from about 20 monkeys one morning. Overall, I would highly recommend this house, and can’t wait to go back and (hopefully) stay there again! Thank you!!

Authentic and Comfortable

This property is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to be close to all kinds of activities if we wanted to do things, but secluded and comfy if we wanted to do nothing at all. And we did not want a touristy resort or hotel. We wanted an authentic Costa Rica home where we could soak up the Pura Vida culture. From the friendly sloth who visited each day to the beautiful blooming flowers and the refreshing oool, we loved our stay. But the best part of renting this home is the owner, Cindy!! She is a great consistent communicator and truly wants to help make your stay in CR exactly what YOU want. She is full of so much knowledge and experience and connections! From local spots to eat to shopping to fishing to beaches and tours, she knows them all!! So pick her brain because she was our best resource both before the trip and during the trip. We fell in love with CR thanks to Cindy and her home. We can’t thank her enough. Pura Vida!!

Exotic Private Retreat

Cathy and I spent a month at Mark and Cindy’s house and it was a delight. Being our first trip to Costa Rica, we were especially looking forward to getting close to nature and seeing the indigenous animals - the house is situated right up against a forest that brought monkeys, sloths, exotic tree squirrels, macaws, iguanas and much more. The house is minutes off the coastal road between Jaco and Quepos/Manuel Antonio - so we could drive in either direction for a variety of beaches, restaurants and activities. The nearby beach of Bejuco is only less than 15 minutes away - our go-to for playing in the surf. The house is equipped with all the necessities and we found ourselves spending time in the tiki hut ... or palapa and the swimming pool and patio. We especially enjoyed the refreshing pool, spending time there so least twice a day. The bedrooms are air conditioned and the beds were perfectly comfortable. We had the benefits of living like a local.

An incredible place to stay in Costa Rica

Mark and Cindy's house is the perfect house to visit for an amazing time in Costa Rica. I'll name a few of the very long list of reasons why. My girlfriend and I arrived to the house at night where Carmen, the incredibly kind caretaker, met us and gave us the keys, walked us around the house and gave us recommendations on places to visit. Over the course of the next few days Carmen and Cindy were always both available to answer questions and help out if we couldn't find something. We spent the first few days of our trip simply enjoying the property which kept us busy between swimming in the amazing pool and watching birds, monkeys, iguanas and geckos roam around. FYI - It gets hot during the dry season, but the rooms have AC which was always a relief to have at the end of each day. The outdoor shower works really well too! We went to the nearby Hotel Pelicano for dinner and to watch the sunset for at least 6 of the 11 nights we spent in Costa Rica (it's incredible for the food and the view). The sunsets were simply insane and we collected some pretty shells as well... El Chiringuito was our second favorite spot for food. We did a night tour at Rainmaker Park which was absolutely incredible. If you decide to go (we highly recommend it), book your tour through Ann or Mick on their website and ask for Luis to be your guide. If you go during the dry season, try to wait for one of the few rains during the season for your trip - it makes the experience much more incredible. We eventually saw the female sloth in the trees with her baby, she came down within 10 feet of us and we got some incredible photos. To see a sloth in the backyard is a very, very memorable moment. She hung out there for a few days until we left, so every morning after we saw her, we went out to feed the monkeys and iguanas and say hi to the sloth and her baby. The house is between two major national parks; Manuel Antonio, and Carara National park - we recommend visiting both. For your guide, if you find Franklin Sanchez - go with him! The house is close to Maxi Pali, a great grocery store that has everything you need, and the bank which is just down the road. There are so many places to eat at nearby, it's hard to choose sometimes... If you can make the drive towards Jaco, VistaMar is also an amazing place for an outdoor lunch where you can see and hear the ocean. In the end, we are so grateful we chose Mark and Cindy's house for our adventure. We will definitely be back!!

We have a great time, quiet like Paradise.

The house is very nice and well equipped, all bedrooms have ac and ceiling fans. The swimming pool is very cosy and the best of all are the monkeys..... Nearest beaches are more for surfing rather than swimming, but national park Manuel Antonio is only 45 min away . The place is very relaxing and you won't notice any noise from the hotel.

Awesome house to stay in Esterillos / Parrita area

I stayed at Mark and Cindy's for two nights with some friends. We loved it, and would have liked to be there longer. The AC in the bedrooms is really nice to have, and the backyard / pool area is really fun to hang out in. We had a big group of monkeys come through a few times and eat the fruit we left out for them. Really awesome place to stay, and Mark and Cindy made it very easy to enjoy! Highly recommended!!

Our family of four stayed at Mark and Cindy's house over Easter week and we had an enjoyable and relaxing time at their house. The kitchen is well equipped and packed with utensils. The decor made us feel at home, we loved all the art work around the house. Plan on getting one of the small bags of charcoal per use of the grill. It was really nice to have access to plenty of towels! The wifi worked really well And the property is secluded and surrounded by a wonderful landscape of lush trees and forest. We saw a lot of iguanas climbing the trees and sunbathing by the roof. The capuchin monkeys also came to the backyard. You can definitely enjoy birding in the early mornings. Bring your binoculars! The pool was super clean and we enjoyed swimming during the day and night. The location is perfect, only 40 min from Manuel Antonio National Park and 25 minutes from Jaco (Great for shopping). Cindy helped us find surfing instructors only 15 minutes from the house at Esterillos Este. The beach was wonderful, Great for young and older kids! Luis is a friend and neighbor of Mark and Cindy's. He was very kind and helpful. He made sure we felt comfortable and offered some suggestions for activities around the area. Luis uses whatsapp and is fluent in English. All in all, a great house for our family of four, thanks!!! The Braemer's

Perfect for Families

We had a wonderful time staying at this lovely home in Costa Rica. We were 2 families with small children and it was the perfect size for us. Having the pool was ideal when we got home from a long day out and the kids wanted more time in the water. It was also lovely to hang out under the palapa at night when the kiddos went to bed. We used the grill with carbon to grill up fish and shrimp many nights. The house had everything that we needed to cook our own meals and save money. The hosts were super helpful and prompt with anything that we needed to know about the house and area. They put us in contact with their friends at El Pelicano and we spent a lot of time using their beach access, pools, restaurant and bar. The owners there were also really friendly and helpful. The only down side was the internet. It was advertised as having internet and one of the people in our group need it to complete work while we were away. You could not look up anything and barely could send an e-mail. We had to go to a restaurant in order to get any internet service. Do not rent this house and expect to do work online.
